My Lush Must-Haves

Whenever I do a LUSH review video, I ALWAYS want to mention these products because I love them so much! But I can't always keep repeating myself :) Anyway, these are my absolute MUST-HAVE items from LUSH that I cannot live without!

1. Dream Cream

If I could only use one LUSH product and give up all my others (terrifying), it would be this. This body cream makes my skin feel and look amazing. I use it everyday. It's extremely moisturizing, but doesn't feel thick and sticky like some body creams do. It absorbs quickly and when you apply it, it almost melts into your skin and glides right on. You don't have to work to rub it in like with some stuff. It doesn't leave a residue or feel oily, but it gives my skin the healthiest glow. The scent is unique-- Herbal, but with a vanilla sweetness. Best part is that it's so gentle, people with the most sensitive skin (even on babies' skin!).

2. Big Shampoo

A good hair day in a little black pot. Seriously, when I use this stuff, my hair changes. It seems a little strange with the large salt chunks, but the stuff works. I like to use really nourishing things on my hair (it's color treated) so this would not be something I'd be drawn to. I nervously tried a sample of this and have been hooked since. It lathers like crazy. It has seaweed in it (which you can't see at all in the product), so maybe that's what makes it feel so great in my hair. It just feels moisturizing. Yet, when you rinse, your hair is squeaky clean, but doesn't feel stripped. Best part is the amazing results-- mega volume for even the most lifeless hair-- like mine :)

4. Ocean SaltOne word- amazing. I can use this stuff on my body or my face (yep, face). While you might think the salt sounds a little harsh, it leaves your skin feeling so soft and has really nourishing ingredients. *If you have sensitive or dry skin, I'd avoid using it on the face.

Not many products, I know. But these are truly the ones I cannot live without! While I've been using some of the skin care products on my face recently (and am loving lots of them--reaching "must-have" status quickly...), it's still too soon to add those to this list. However, I promise a full review next month of my LUSH skincare products after I've had some time to get a good feel for them :) Maybe even a must-have skincare post? ;)

Last week on a short travel to the USA I bought the Dream Cream because I saw a twitter comment of yours and decided to try it. And now I'm addicted to it... I live in Brazil and on my next vacations I'll look for these other Lush products... Love Lush and love your blog!!!!!

I wish they would make a color safe shampoo!! I've been using the garlic-y face mask (can't remember the name). At first I didn't love it or hate it, but it's really growing on me. Over the past 2 weeks my skin has become less oily throughout the day. Great post!

Tiffany I have a question, what is the best way to use bar soap? I try to use it with a loofa because I don't like just rubbing it on my body (doesn't get sudsy enough) and I like to only use my washcloth for my facewash. How do you do it? Maybe I'll just have to washcloths in my shower haha. :)

Great post! I grew up with LUSH and worked for them for a long time. Have you ever looked at the sister company? www.bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.com. They're unfortunately closing soon but have a look at all the gorgeousness before it goes. I'm trying to upload all the remaing swatches to my blog. So sad that it will soon no longer be with us :(

I loved this post. I just started getting into lush and ive fallen in love I think! I've got a few new things (I wrote about them on my blog) and I love to see what other people have got and what their faves are! I want to try Big and american cream for my hair I think.

i bought rock star and hated the smell lol! it smells so sickly for me. Ive never tried any of the others. my favourites are think pink and the comforter i blog bout them all the time lol! im so addicted to lush! love you tiffany :D

Thanks for the great tips! I just bought the Big Shampoo, and totally fell in love!! It's magic! I have thin and color treated hair, and this shampoo makes my hair soft, yet full of volume. I have always been using brands like Redken, TIGI and so on, but this one beats them all! Love, love, love your blog and youtube channel :)

I love big but if u color ur hair becareful it can strip ur color out and sorry to say I hate the smell of Rock Star.. Tiff I'm going to be starting at Lush soon if u ever need anything let me know ;) Glamcandy2 on Twitter
